Clanbook: Baali

Rating:
Summary: Add pure Evil to your Chronicle
Review: As is printed on the cover, Clanbook: Baali is not suited for children. It's pictures might offend people as may its content. So if you are religious you shouldn't buy it. But to put it right the Baali are not all satanists! They worship old evil beings called the Children (of darkness)called names of old babylonian and assyrian gods. They are cruel, sadistic, perverted, spread diseases via insects and perform rituals resembling satanic rites what leads to their image as whorshipers of Satan. Afer some time the weak Baali started to think of themselves as servants of Satan because of the other clans. Thats a very short summary of their history. So if you feel offended by anything stated here don't buy the book otherwise buy it and enjoy an Chronicle enhanced with pure EVIL.

Summary: not just mindless evil
Review: i know that a lot of people who read this book was offended by it. it certainly isn't for everyone. the baali doesnt have to exist in each and every soryteller's game setting but, if it does, then this book is a great help. it gives in-depth information about the baali in an intelligent, three dimensional manner. not an "evil for the sake of evil" but gives real reasons why the baali do what they do and what they are. my only problem is that the book does not give enough daimoinon powers but it is rich in historical content and the philosophies of the baali. for me, i don't regret purchasing this book.

Summary: EVIL EVIL EVIL .....BAH!
Review: I play a Baali and YES I have read the whole book through. I don't play it to be an EVIL DISGUSTING SATANISTIC murderer. I didn't even take an evil path.. I'm still on the road to Humanity.... barly. I played my character as a human for 2 years. and when WW put out the revised edition I told my ST that I wanted to be a Baali. The WHOLE! reason behind it is just to see what it would be like. Just immagine.. your soul is already corrupted from the embrace and as if vampires didn't have enough problems keeping humanity. Just imagine when your sire wants you to come join in the ritualistic fun. could you keep your sanity or do you think your character would succumb to the beast quickly? So far I'm hanging in there.

BTW the book is one of my personal fav's. The story IS in depth anybody who dosn't think so hasn't read through much V:tM storyline. SUPPOSEDLY the Salubri were part of the Baali at one point and Saulot betraied Baal and got him cast out by Cain. Can you imagine the pain of being cast out by a cast out??? tough..

Review: The Baali are just plain sick and wrong. Great for antagonists, but I don't think I'd play one.

Summary: Baali clanbook great for enemies!
Review: The Baali book is great for storytellers. It gives great (and sick) details on thier background. Yes, the book is quite graphic,but they're EVIL! Evil people aren't nice. There is more info on the Baali in the Dark Ages Companion. It talks about Shaitan and his decent into madness. And for players,in the Baali book it says multiple time and I quote "Baali are for storyteller use only". And to the people who are offended by this book, grow up! If you don't want to know what evil vampires do or where they come from, don't buy the book. Simple. The book is great. Hooray for White Wolf. Keep it going guys!

Summary: Entertaining read + the Baali make excellent enemies
Review: This book was so interesting, that I had to finish it in a single take.

All Vampire material should be like this (the excess is highly overrated, I don't what the fuss is all about). If some people find this sick or disturbing, they should quit playing games about characters who have to kill and drink blood just to survive :-).

I'm a VtDA ST, and this book has great value for my chronicle. Just reading it opened a well of ideas and story plot in my mind. I have used no Baali until now, I thought they represented all the boring and cliche aspects of evil. Clanbook Baali changed all that, there are so many different and subtle ways they could creep into a chronicle... (I'll stop here as not to spoil the fun)

Closing statement: A must for ST's, a good read for all VtDA fans, and a new bloodline to play for mature and experienced roleplayers only.

Summary: A Twisted clan indeed
Review: This is one of the most twisted clans of all of Vampire. But they do make of rinteresting story plots and twists. They are not your normally pure evil clan. This book is not for those who have weak hearts or weak stomachs. but if you have either condition why are you playing this game. I would never be a baali but they make excellent foes.
